Our current understanding of the fundamental building blocks of the Universe, summarised by the Standard Model of particle physics, is incomplete. For example,

This book takes a fresh approach to the teaching of discrete symmetries which are central to fundamental physics: mirror symmetry, matter/anti-matter symmetry,

The violation of charge-conjugation and parity symmetries is a leading area of research in particle and nuclear physics, with important implications for underst
